Description: If you would like an EARLY half-day hike, join me for a moderate hike at Tory's Den at 1185 Charlie Young Road. We will meet at the west end of the Tory's Den parking lot for a hike to the intersection of the Moore's Wall Loop Trail, turn around and return on the Ruben Mountain trail. We will hike in a riverbed of gravel/large rocks so poles might be helpful. I plan to finish this hike with lunch and a view of Tory's Den Cave and Waterfall which is an additional 0.4 miles provided it is not terribly hot.
Required Gear: Water, electrolytes, snacks
